ClearShield Adds Value at
Versatile Glass Company
Recent contracts for P&M Dabner
reflect the added value benefits of
Ritec's ClearShield glass surface
protection system, especially on
sandblasted glass...
Sandblasted retail display panels
for a leading London store and a
glass staircase with non-slip
sandblasted treads are two of the
company's latest commissions to be
surface treated with ClearShield as
a protection against staining and
discolouration. In addition to
decorative items, conservatory roof
units also receive the ClearShield
treatment, leaving the glass
resistant to general dirt and
weathering, making it easier to
clean and keep clean.
The
ClearShield System has been
developed by Ritec for the
conversion of high maintenance,
unprotected glass into Low-M (Low
Maintenance) Glass. It features a
proven polymer formulation that
bonds chemically to the glass,
leaving a transparent, 'non-stick'
surface. It is ideal for the type of
decorative glass techniques offered
by P&M Dabner, which includes a
range of sandblast finishes, acid
etching and hand ground backgrounds.
General Manager John Bonney,
comments: “Sandblasted glass is
particularly vulnerable to stains,
such as fingermarks, which are
difficult to remove because of the
textured surface. We also produce
decorated glass panels for pubs,
which are subject to discolouration
by tobacco smoke." Glass treated
with ClearShield protects against
this kind of contamination and
marking and so retains its
attractive appearance for longer.
John continues: “It also means
cleaning time and frequency is
significantly reduced and no harsh
chemicals are required, which saves
our customers time and money. And
when combined with Ritec's
recommended after-care programme,
treated glass can look and perform
like new for years to come."
Ritec's ClearShield system is
available in the standard
ClearShield Glass Protect formula,
together with specialist versions
for different applications,
including ClearShield Sandblast
Protect, as used by P&M Dabner, and
ClearShield Shower Protect. Ritec
also offers its customers free
training, marketing assistance and
technical advice. Further

ClearShield Applicator is available
